How do i get a covenant altered so that i can apply

This is called an Estate Covenant. It is enforceable by the original person/entity/company that put the covenant on the property against all the properties and it is also enforceable by all the properties against each other.Covenants are only enforceable in so far as they are needed to protect any dominant land (in this case, adjacent land).There is case law ( Hepworth v Pickles) which says that once a covenant has been continually breached without objection for 20 years then it lapses. That does not apply here.As the original intention of this covenant is to keep the whole area open plan, it is likely that if you put a wall up or a hedge or other boundary feature, someone is likely to object. The longer time goes on, the less interested people will become and small walls and fences and hedges will gradually start to appear.My own house which was built in about 1969 has exactly this covenant on along with various other covenants with regard to keeping of fowl and caravans and such like. However the majority of the houses now have hedges and trees and have done for many years.The only way of guaranteeing that you don’t get to get taken to court either by the original company (who may not want to spend the money or be bothered but it is a risk you run) or one of the neighbouring properties is to ask the original company to vary it to allow a low wall or whatever it is that you want to put in place.Can I help further?Please don’t forget to rate the service positive.Thank you.
